NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (JPMREIT) announced today the acquisition of a strategically positioned two-site, three-building infill logistics and storage portfolio totaling 154,490 square feet located in Tampa and Pinellas Park, FL. The properties are fully leased to PODS, a leading moving and storage company founded and headquartered in the Tampa area. The total purchase price was $25.8 million (exclusive of closing costs).

This investment allows JPMREIT to access infill logistics facilities in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the U.S. Located in densely populated areas with close proximity to major highways, the portfolio is well-positioned to help meet the increasing demands for business and personal storage.

"We continue to see strong infill industrial demand for high-quality assets in expanding markets, particularly in areas with significant population growth and limited supply," said Doug Schwartz, Co-President of JPMREIT. "With infill industrial assets experiencing healthy fundamentals and long-term demand tailwinds, this sector remains a high-conviction theme for JPMREIT. This acquisition not only strengthens our portfolio but also aligns with our strategy to invest in high-growth regions."
